<p>A process for producing combustible gas by processing molecules of water in a vapor phase by abrupt increase in their kinetic energy and final decomposition thereof under the elevated temperature conditions directly in the combustion process is provided. The process according to one aspect of the present invention comprises the steps of abruptly increasing the kinetic energy of the molecules of water vapor (20) by passing thereof through a converging and diverging nozzle (24) and injecting the vapor promptly into a combustion chamber (10), thereby subjecting it to the action of elevated temperature existing in the combustion chamber. Another aspect of the present invention comprises the step of processing the molecules of water in vapor phase in an electric field (22) prior to passing them through the converging and diverging nozzle.</p> |
